Living the dream. One day at a time.

Remember the girl behind my not-so-cool hairdo a year back? sooo she has taken to blogging these days and must say the girl can write,  so here I am shamelessly advertising my didi’s blog(go sue me if you want) who helped me write essays and speeches in past.  Now that we are sharing blog links you should also visit my dimply friend here .

Now let’s come to the title of this post, I never intended to add a recipe category to this site  but I cannot help but post this super fun recipe (No there is no patent on this one, not yet) courtesy of Shreyas. The dish is called baitha anda in Marathi and loose translation in English makes it sitting egg (??) .  The dish turned out to be good enough to make an entry in Rachel ray’s 30 minute meals (I bet you dint know Sanjeev Kapoor showed one minute shrimp rice on her show sometime back) Anyhow, without further ado lets start with the process.

Baitha Egg recipe(for 2)

Ingredients (rather components as the chef likes to call them)

* 3 eggs

* 1/2 onion, 1/2 tomato

* 1/2 teaspoon oil, Ginger garlic paste(1/4th spoon- optional)

* 1 teaspoon chicken curry powder, turmeric, cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon Chilly powder, salt

* Chopped  Coriander for garnishing

Method

1. Heat oil in a pan, add a teaspoon of cumin seeds and a pinch of turmeric.

2. When the seeds splutter add ginger garlic paste

3. Saute onion till they turn brown and add Chicken curry powder,  red chilly powder and salt.

4. Add chopped tomato and let it cook for a minute

5. When this gravy is cooked (now comes the tricky part), spead the gravy evenly in pan and make three holes in the pan with a spoon (no physical holes in the pan please) pour the eggs in the holes and stir them lightly with a spoon, make sure the egg doesn’t disintegrate.

6. Cover the pan and on a very low flame let the eggs cook for 4 minutes and turn them over without breaking into more than two pieces.

7. Garnish with coriander and eat with a roti or bread

You should/could/would not call this an omlette and we take no responsibility if the dish isn’t edible.  We enjoyed this quick recipe dish watching Ocean’s Eleven on a lazy saturday afternoon, which not only turned out to be a yummy meal but cured my never ending headache. BTW on a totally tangential note does anyone also think that Catch me if you can was copied from Bunty aur Babli or it’s just me :p
